It's a relatively little known fact that Sun use Forth as the
monitor/bootloader  in their servers. When you do a shutdown
on a Sun box it takes you into a Forth interpreter!

Yep, it's one of the few languages that I just gave up on,
the pain wasn't worth the gain. I wound up moving to Tcl;
and Tcl isn't exactly mainstream! But it was a lot more
conventional than Forth. The only language I've used that
was equally different was Prolog.
